Lead Director’s Message Welcome to Hawthorn Academy! We are thrilled you have decided to attend Hawthorn Academy for this school year and be a part of only three Utah schools who have earned the prestigious authorization as Primary Grade International Baccalaureate schools. Our faculty and staff are preparing classrooms and materials in order to provide your students with the highest quality education. We have a great year planned with many exciting learning opportunities for our student body. Students can participate in after school activities of sports, choir, guitar, ballroom dance, band, orchestra and art. I encourage you to stay informed of all the school activities by visiting our website at www.hawthornacademy.org or liking our Facebook page. This year, as in previous years, your student will be a part of one of our small classes. Also, we have an incredibly strong staff composed of talented teachers who are excited to meet with you and discuss any concerns you may have regarding your child. I encourage you to communicate with your teachers in order to get any questions you may have answered. Our focus is to provide an exciting environment where students develop and desire to explore and understand the world around them; be inspired to set and reach personal goals, and become lifelong seekers of knowledge. We provide challenging academics that teach students that learning goes between subject areas. For example math is a part of science and writing happens in all content areas. Our teachers collaborate to provide engaging, inquiry based programs. Students develop self-respect and self-discipline in a safe and supportive environment. I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) called HOPE, for their continued dedication to improving our school. Through the volunteer efforts of our parents and HOPE we have been able to provide an outstanding level of support to our teachers and activities raising monies to enable us to increase our computers and other technology in the school and help fund field trips. Hawthorn Academy asks each family to give 30 hours of service. I would encourage all families to participate in the PTO and take advantage of school volunteer opportunities. We thank you for trusting us with your students’ educational needs and we look forward to serving you and your family to set your students on the path to academic success. Sincerely, Dr. Deborah L. Swensen, Lead Director [email protected]


Parent Teacher Organization The Parent Teacher Organization (HOPE) for Hawthorn Academy supports the school and families who attend Hawthorn Academy. Our purpose is to coordinate volunteers, fund raise for the school and to provide support in communication, extracurricular activities and other needs that may arise.

Volunteer Our HOPE organization cannot function without your help. We encourage each family to volunteer thirty (30) hours per school year. Volunteer opportunities include working with students, assisting teachers, participating in school-wide activities and serving on committees. In addition, the hours volunteered by families provide crucial documentation in applying for grants which, in turn, enhances the education of our children. We are grateful for all of the parents and community members’ efforts to support Hawthorn Academy. For volunteer opportunities, please contact your student’s teacher and/or the HOPE Board at [email protected].

Events The PTO runs amazing community events for our school. Events include fundraisers, Back to School Night, the Fall Carnival, and Book Fairs. Website The PTO maintains a website in order to keep families current with the most important school information. You can visit the website at: www.hopehappenings.org. Facebook is also a resource available for those wanting to follow the PTO through social media. You can like the page online at: https://www.facebook.com/HawthornsOrganizationofParentsinEducation.

Pick Up and Drop Off

We want students to be safe as they arrive and depart from the school. Please review the following information to make sure that as students are transported to campus they follow guidelines necessary to promote safety and efficient traffic flow. Walking or Biking For general safe routes to school, you can review our student neighborhood access program here: https://hawthornacademy.org/dynamic/content/1025/40/safewalkroutes_mdvJG.pdf Hawthorn South Jordan Campus Student Drop-off & Pick-up Procedures 2021-2022 Drop-off - Doors will open at 8:00 am every morning. Please do not drop off students any earlier. However, please get your students here early enough to allow them to get to their class and not be tardy. Front Doors will open and students will go to their classrooms starting at 8:20 am. PM Kindergarten will enter through the Kindergarten doors, all others will enter through the front doors.

• School starts at 8:30 am (Monday – Friday) School ends at 3:15 pm Monday-Thursday, 1:15 pm Friday

• Cars will enter the school parking lot from 11400 south through the east entrance to the parking lot. The west entrance will be closed to all during drop off and pickup time with the exception of Fast Pass holders. (Commercial Day care busses and vans can apply for a Fast Pass at the office. Also a limited number of Fast Passes will be auctioned off in the Fall.) All parents will enter the east entrance to the parking lot and will enter into one of 3 “stacking” or “queue” lanes and take turns pulling forward into a single file line as space permits. Each stacking lane will accommodate approximately 18 cars (54 total) and approximately 18 along the drop-off pick-up curb in front of the school. Please do not allow your student(s) to exit the vehicle unless they are in the pick-up drop-off lane along the curb of the school.

• No pick-up or drop-off in the by-pass lane, stacking lanes, along the street curb of 11400 South between the west and east entrance of the school, or in any parking stall except the ones to the far south.


• Make sure that your students are ready to exit your car once within the pickup drop-off lane so as to not holdup the cars behind you. If you need to park during pickup and drop-off times, pull into a parking stall along the far south of the parking lot. Then walk to the crosswalk to be crossed. Any students meeting you should also cross only at the crosswalk.

• Please note that the exit onto 11400 south will be a RIGHT TURN ONLY at all times of the day. All walking students are to use the designated crosswalks while on school property and are only to cross 11400 south and 1300 west with the aid of the city crossing guards.

• Students and parents should not cross 11400 south unless in a designated crosswalk. No one should be walking on the sidewalk between the west and east entrances during drop-off pick-up times.

• MAP OF PICK-UP can be found at: https://www.hawthornacademy.org/dynamic/content/1056/457/pm_carpool_map.pdf

• MAP OF DROP-OFF can be found at: https://www.hawthornacademy.org/dynamic/content/1056/457/carpool_map.pdf

Pick-up - From 2:30- 3:00pm (Friday 12:30-1:00pm) the far North stacking lane along the curb will be for filling the West parking lot stalls only. It will go back to being the 3rd stacking lane at 3:00pm or when the West parking lot fills, whichever comes first. There are 40 stalls that will fill and then parents in these stalls will exit out the far west exit of the parking lot. The 3rd stacking lane will return to a lane that goes to the school’s front curb once it is 3:00pm (1:00pm Friday).

The other two stacking lanes will not be affected by this change. School personnel will be out there to direct the process. Please follow their directions.

Once the West lot is full or it is 3:00pm there will be no driving into the West Lot. When parking in the West parking lot cars should back into the stalls. Anyone parking in the West lot will need to come pick their student(s) up outside

the school and walk them to their car. This is necessary for your student(s) safety and so they know you are in the West lot and will not be picking them up somewhere else.

When exiting the West lot it is right turn only as is the East exit per UDOT. Fast Pass and commercial busses will be moved to the back of the school.

Reminders • Students will not be permitted to exit into the parking lot to get into cars waiting or parked in the stacking lanes during pick-up and drop-off times. • Please refrain from using and talking on cell phones during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. • Parents are asked not to schedule appointments with teachers or the office until after 3:35 PM (Monday – Thursdays) and 1:35 PM on Fridays as it is difficult to find parking in the front parking lot while the stacking lanes are in operation. Parents should also try


to avoid picking any students up within 15 minutes of school ending due to parking lot congestion. • When entering and exiting the parking lot, please do so at a slow and safe speed. • Please follow the direction of the staff/volunteers in the morning and afternoon. • Please do not drop-off students before 8:00 AM, as teachers and staff are preparing for the day, there is no supervision in front of the school until that time. • Students who are more than five minutes tardy must check in at the office. Students who have three or fewer tardies have the opportunity to earn a dress down day each quarter. • All students must be picked up from school by 3:40 PM unless they are participating in a school sanctioned after school program or tutoring session.

Wellness Policy

Hawthorn Academy Policy: Wellness Policy Adopted Revision: April 2, 2014 Purpose The purpose of this school Wellness Policy (the “Policy”) is to ensure the best possible mental and physical health environment for the students of Hawthorn Academy (the “School”). The School’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and Administration (the “Administration”) recognize that there is a well-documented link between nutrition, physical activity and learning. Well-planned and effectively implemented school nutrition and fitness programs have been shown to enhance students’ overall health as well as their behavior and academic achievement in school. Schools have a responsibility to


help students learn, establish and maintain lifelong healthy eating and activity habits and to promote healthy living in families and in the community. Faculty and staff wellness is an integral part of a healthy school environment as well, since school faculty and staff can be daily role models for healthy behaviors. Wellness Committee Under the direction of the Board and Administration, the School will establish a Wellness Committee to oversee wellness efforts, review the School’s progress towards accomplishment of the School’s wellness objectives and, as necessary, recommend changes to the Policy. The Wellness Committee may consist of, but is not limited to, parents, students, food service staff, members of the Board and Administration, teachers, health professionals and members of the community. Objectives All students in the School shall possess the knowledge and skills necessary to make healthy food and physical activity choices throughout their lifetime. Parents and families shall be provided with tools and resources to promote and encourage healthy living. All staff in the School shall be encouraged to model healthy eating and physical activity as a valuable part of daily life. To meet these objectives, the School adopts this Policy, which addresses physical activity, nutrition education, and healthy school environment and food guidelines. This Policy is designed to effectively utilize School and community resources to equitably serve the needs and interest of all students, families, faculty and staff, taking into consideration differences in culture.

g. Provide exemptions from physical activities where appropriate for ill or injured students. Nutrition Education The primary purpose of nutrition education is to build knowledge and skills that will help students make healthy eating and physical activity choices now and throughout their lives. In order to do so:

a. The classroom, cafeteria and other School venues will provide clear and consistent messages that explain and reinforce healthy eating and physical activity habits.

b. Faculty and staff will be encouraged to teach healthy eating habits in the classroom by incorporating healthy nutrition facts not only in health but also subjects such as math, science, language arts, social sciences and elective subjects.

c. Nutrition education will be provided and nutrition incentive programs will be encouraged.

d. An increase of healthier meal choices, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products, will be provided to students to encourage improvement of nutrition behaviors on the School campus.

e. Students will be encouraged to test healthy food items with which they are not familiar to promote behavior change and healthy school meal consumption.

f. Nutritional and physical awareness and healthy lifestyles will be promoted to students, families, faculty and staff through activities that may include but are not limited to assemblies, fairs, newsletters and physical activities. Healthy School Environment The Board and Administration understand the need to create a school environment that is conducive to promoting and sustaining the nutritional, physical and emotional health of its students, faculty and staff. In order to create such an environment:

a. Students will be educated on the importance of proper hand washing and will be provided access to restrooms for washing hands. In addition, hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance and exit of the lunchroom.

d. The School will make efforts to keep School-owned physical activity facilities open for use by students outside school hours.

e. The Wellness Committee will encourage the School’s Fundraising Committee to pursue fundraising activities that promote healthy eating and physical activity. Food Guidelines The primary purpose of the food guidelines contained herein is to ensure that the use of food in the School promotes and protects health and wellness. The following guidelines are hereby set forth: a.
